By Helene Elliott

On the air: TV: FS West. Radio: 1150, 830.

Where: Staples Center.

Records: Kings 16-17-6, Ducks 21-15-5.

Season series: Ducks lead 3-1-0.

Update: Kings Coach Terry Murray, whose team has scored two goals in its last three games, scrambled his line combinations again. The trios at Wednesday’s practice were Alexander Frolov-Anze Kopitar-Wayne Simmonds, Kyle Calder-Michal Handzus-Dustin Brown, Patrick O’Sullivan-Jarret Stoll-Teddy Purcell, and Raitis Ivanans-Brian Boyle-John Zeiler. Goaltender Jonathan Quick is scheduled to start, recovered from the flu symptoms that kept him out of Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to the Ducks. Oscar Moller, who played for Sweden at the world junior championships, skated Wednesday but no decision had been made whether he will play. In winning the opener of this home-and-home series the Ducks moved six games above .500. Bobby Ryan ranked sixth among NHL rookie scorers through Tuesday’s games with eight goals and 22 points.
